La Crosse roundabout projects nearly complete, but South Ave. to close Friday

It’s getting close now. The Wisconsin DOT is nearing the end of construction on that huge roundabout project on South Avenue in La Crosse.

First, however, crews will need to close a chunk of that road for a couple of days.

South Avenue will be closed to traffic starting at 6 a.m. Friday for putting down new pavement.

The affected area is between Green Bay Street and Ward Avenue.

The closure will last at least through noon Sunday.

The road has been under construction since the start of summer for the installation of four roundabouts and other improvements.
